mrtyu-dutah kapoto ’yam

ulukah kampayan manah

pratyulukas ca kuhvanair

visvam vai sunyam icchatah

 

Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

Just see! This pigeon is like a messenger of death. The shrieks of the owls and their rival crows make my heart tremble. It appears that they want to make a void of the whole universe.
